About Michael Franti and Spearhead's I Know I'm Not Alone

In 2004, Michael Franti decided to 'walk his talk' and traveled to the war zones of Iraq, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This wasn't a USO green zone sponsored visit - Franti traveled to the core of the red-zoned, war torn neighborhoods in the Middle East with his guitar, video cameras and the intent to experience first hand the human cost of war.

Out of this journey, Franti has created a compelling documentary film titled "I Know I'm Not Alone" and an inspiring, uplifting new album of original songs titled Yell Fire! recorded in Kingston, Jamaica with Sly & Robbie, and Franti's hometown of San Francisco, California.
